Rustom Bharucha When people 'invent' tradition ('authentic' or 'spurious' through acts of 'cultural preservation' or 'subversion' ), they unavoidably imply that they are no longer in touch with its immediacies. Yet an illusion is often maintained whereby the 'invention' is placed within the mainstream of tradition itself. This essay discusses the more seemingly 'creative' inventions of tradition that have been implemented by our artists, directors and 'experts' in the Indian theatre. Much of the discussion focuses on the discourse of theatre, in which concepts of the folk' and the 'theatre of roots' are examined as inventipns of the urban intelligentsia.
